Paresthesia (Pins and Needles)
Paresthesia (or paraesthesia) is the medical term given to pins and needles. The term aesthesia comes from the Greek word aisthesis, meaning sensation; para means beside (or parallel) – hence, paresthesia refers to a sensation that is slightly different to a 'normal' sensation.

it depends on the sentence and how "medical" it needs to sound: "a feeling of pins and needles all over my body" could be one likely way to phrase it or "a generalised pins and needles sensation" People talk about pins and needles, they don't generally know what paraesthesia is (doctors do)
